I packed up most of my belongings this morning. The room looks rather forlorn without the handwritten letters pinned to the corkboard above my dresser or the pink curtain band. I think I underestimated how much stuff I have over here. We're leaving tomorrow on the eight fifteen, in time to pick up my mom from the airport. Dad flies in later tomorrow night. The summer few by. It seemed as if Kaitlin and I were just setting up our closet and cleaning our dresseres and sheets. Now Kaitlin is gone and next week is my last. I've learned a lot this summer. I've learned to survive away from home. I've become a better driver. I've learned how to stay friends with someone in close quarters and to make things work. I've learned what it means to be lonely. I've learned how to adjust my lifestyle to fit others into it, and how to compromise on the little things. I've learned that obsessing over the wrong things is a painful waste of emotion... but I have not yet learned how to keep myself from doing it again. I have learned how sweet friendships are and how lucky I am to have the ones I do. I've learned to appreciate my family. I've discovered that friends don't always last forever, and you have to fight to keep them. I've struggled with fear and found the key to keeping it at bay. I've learned what sun, salt and sand can do for your mood. I know what anger feels like. I've found that Cingular gets connection even on small private beaches on small islands off the coast of CT (plug there). I've learned how jealous others are of people...myself included. I've learned that you need a mix of speak up and shut up to get by. I've seen some of themost magical sunrises, and been in some fearfully beautiful places. I've learned to buck up and move on. I've re-learned how much fun the world of country music is. I've learned that I overpack. ;)

| Hey Guys. I love the song "1973" I'm thinking my life is surreal I'm wondering if things'll work out. I'm loving my friends. I'm wishing certain things were different. I'm hoping I'll work out some day. Abby | | |
| It rained today...when it rains we can't work, and unless that means I get to go home early...it isn't a happy thing. I ate way so much today to, which is never good. The weekend will be fun though...it's always fun. I'm sorry, i don't know why i get so gloomy in bad weather. It's like a real problem of mine... Abby | | |
| I love my job. But I'm starting to get tired of going back and forth and back and forth. Five more weeks though, and then I can really just think about DTS. Can't wait. Abby | | |
